Abstract

Modern imaging technologies are widely based on classical principles of light or electromagnetic wave propagation. They can be remarkably sophisticated, with recent successes ranging from single-molecule microscopy to imaging far-distant galaxies. However, new imaging technologies based on quantum principles are gradually emerging. They can either surpass classical approaches or provide novel imaging capabilities that would not otherwise be possible. Here we provide an overview of the most recently developed quantum imaging systems, highlighting the nonclassical properties of sources, such as bright squeezed light, entangled photons and single-photon emitters that enable their functionality. We outline potential upcoming trends and the associated challenges, all driven by a central enquiry, which is to understand whether quantum light can make visible the invisible. This Review provides an overview of the most recently developed quantum imaging systems, highlighting the nonclassical properties of sources, such as bright squeezed light, entangled photons and single-photon emitters that enable their functionality.

量子成像技术的进步

现代成像技术广泛基于光或电磁波传播的经典原理。这些技术可以非常复杂，最近取得的成功包括从单分子显微镜到远距离星系成像。然而，基于量子原理的新成像技术正在逐渐兴起。它们要么超越了经典方法，要么提供了新的成像能力，而这些能力在其他情况下是不可能实现的。在此，我们概述了最新开发的量子成像系统，重点介绍了光源的非经典特性，如明亮的挤压光、纠缠光子和实现其功能的单光子发射器。我们概述了即将到来的潜在趋势和相关挑战，所有这些都是由一个核心问题驱动的，即了解量子光是否能让不可见变得可见。
